Crazyass Japanese Thing of the Day: The “researchers” at Japanese news blog RocketNews24 decided to cook a McDonald’s meal on a bed of rice inside a rice cooker. Why? Because apparently “a Big Mac, french fries and chicken nuggets taste amazing when cooked in a rice cooker.” Also: Japan.

BASE Jump Headcam Footage of the Day: Wingsuit madman Jeb Corliss has uploaded the full-length headcam footage from his infamously ill-fated Table Mountain BASE jump, and guess what: Still looks as painful as it did the first time around.

RIP: Two weeks ago, Rémi Ochlik took home a prestigious World Press Photo prize for his courageous documentation of the Battle for Libya. This morning, while bearing witness to the horrors of everyday life in the besieged Syrian city of Homs, the acclaimed French photojournalist was killed. He was 28. The Syrian Army rocket attack that reportedly targeted the makeshift press center where Ochlik was located also claimed the life of American war reporter Marie Colvin — the only journalist reporting on behalf of a British newspaper (The Sunday Times) from inside Homs. At least 80 others were also killed in rocket and bomb attacks throughout the day. Hundreds of civilians are believed to have been killed since the Syrian regime’s shelling campaign began 19 days ago. In her final report from Homs, recorded mere hours before her death, Colvin told CNN’s Anderson that the Syrian Army was “simply shelling a city of cold, starving civilians.” Tagged: Marie Colvin, Rémi Ochlik, RIP, Siege of Homs, Syrian Uprising         |

Totes Amazeballs of the Day: Well, this is pretty cool, but also pretty unfair. After Charlatans lead singer Tim Burgess jokingly tweeted that he had invented a new cereal called Totes Amazeballs that was being considered for production by Kellogg’s, the company responded by actually producing the cereal. “It all came about a few weeks ago when Tim tweeted his fans about wanting to create a super cereal called Totes Amazeballs,” said a Kellogg’s spokeswoman. “We really try to make the most of Twitter here at Kellogg’s, and when we saw the tweet, we knew we had to make something special for him.” That’s right: They made a special, one-of-a-kind, Rocky-Road-flavored cereal called Totes Amazeballs just for Tim Burgess because he’s a famous person who made a joke on Twitter. As if the rest of us don’t deserve to pour organic fat-free milk over a mix of Rocky Road cake, Coco Pops, marshmallows, shortbread pieces, and raisins? Listen up Kellogg’s, because I’m only going to say this once: Make more And now we wait. [adfreak.] Tagged: kellogg's, Tim Burgess, Totes Amazeballs         |
